    Supelice Dreadfully Boring
    Tayyab Torres Strong acting helps the film overcome an uncertain premise and create characters that hold our attention absolutely.
    Bob This is one of the best movies I’ve seen in a very long time. You have to go and see this on the big screen.
    Delight Yes, absolutely, there is fun to be had, as well as many, many things to go boom, all amid an atmospheric urban jungle.
    foghorn_clj I didn't watch this when it was first made but obviously heard through channels that it had a huge cult following and fan are constantly wanting a follow up movie. So when it appeared on one of my streaming services I dived right in.So season 1 is really good. Great characters, awesome plot twists etc. Season 2 still OK but the main mystery plot was horribly convoluted and conveniently resolved with a non-sensical explanation.Season 3 was terrible. Enough said.The biggest problem I have with this show is that whip-smart mystery solving Veronica Mars falls in love with a emotionally stunted and occasional sociopathic asshole. And then she's all crushed when he does something that is horrible/illegal which ends they're relationship.In summary, entertaining for the teen crowd? Yes. Worthy of bringing back? HELL NO. This ain't Firefly people!
    rainysng99-835-328606 I barely coped with Season 1 and 2 for the sexism and the clichéd 'poor little rich boys' with brain-dead bimbos (except Veronica is an exception- to-the-rule), but Season 3 just made my jaw drop with such over-the-top misogyny. I know I am very late in seeing this show, but I would have hoped the presentation of criminally offensive frat boys behaviour, being reduced to rolled eyes at their "bad manners" had been left behind in the 80s. While the presentation of young women concerned enough to protest violence against women on campuses, are shown as secretly evil liars and more highly suspect than any poor misunderstood frat boy. Ditto for prostituted women. Bleh, bleh, bleh...
    blanche-2 I see that some people really hated this show. I'm not sure what's so offensive about it. I started watching it because I watch anything involved with mysteries, and I like Kristen Bell.Veronica Mars is a high school student in Neptune, California, where her father was once the local sheriff. When her best friend and boyfriend's sister Lilly Kane (Amanda Seyfried) is murdered, her father accuses the Amanda's father Ted Kane (Kyle Secor) of the murder. When someone is arrested for it, Kane uses his influence to have Veronica's father removed from office. He then opens his own private detective agency.Veronica, once in with the in crowd, finds herself isolated from her former so-called friends, and is now in with the out crowd. Nevertheless she holds her head up and works with her dad on solving mysteries, all the while trying to get information on her mother, who disappeared at the time of the murder. And, though her father has warned her about continuing with her friend's murder case, she doesn't believe the man arrested is the killer and still delves into it.The main cast is made up of mostly young people, and I will say that acting isn't the strongest thing about this show. But I do like the street-smart Veronica and her sharp responses to the kids in school, even though she pines for her ex, Duncan (Teddy Dunn) and has had to face loss of loved ones and stature.I think this was a good character-driven series. It's important with films and shows to take them for what they are and not look for them to be anything else. It's a show about a teenager that adults can get into, and it's well done.
    namob-43673 As with all show it depends on your perspective. If your perspective is high school, fun teen drama and interesting characters this is as good as it gets. To me this is one of the best shows ever made. Absolutely brilliant teen-noir entertainment. Anyone between 10yo-25yo should love this show, but it is really for everyone. I am not going to tell you what this is about, there are plenty of those spoilers about, what I am going to tell you however is that this show is original, but also different. It is very hard finding a show like this anywhere, especially this well acted. Sure it get a bit weirdly constricted teen drama in the 2nd season, but overall this is great. The only draw back with this show is that it never develops, which is also most likely why it never made it past the 3rd season. If they'd gone past the original idea and gone with the FBI-route or any other reasonable development this could have been an amazing 10p show, sadly it never did so my score is a stable 9. If you want to keep up with this time and how the young was and what they watched, this is the number one show.
